Update:  I did it!  I moved to another state!  I got a new job.  I can't believe I actually did it.  I moved in one day; started my new job the next day.  Yikes!  I still have to pinch myself every morning and ask myself if I was crazy or if it was the smartest thing I ever did.  I'm still sort of in denial. Not sure this is real.  It's just plain crazy.  The last several weeks have flown by. 

I know two things for sure.  One:  I miss my Jakob.  Terribly.  He's only three, but, oh, so smart, and oh, so much fun.  I feel so horribly guilty for leaving him and moving a whole state away.  Well, it's only a couple of hours away, but, feels like a world away.  Two:  I miss my kids.  I feel like I deserted them too.  These are the reasons I wonder if I did the right thing. 

I do, however, love my new job and my new students.  I know, I'm probably still living in the "honeymoon phase" with these kids, but, they are SO stinkin' sweet, polite, and full of personality.  I feel like I've hit the lottery, in more than one way, with this new job.  Most of my kiddos are Hispanic or Marshallese.  They are so much fun to get to know and again, just couldn't be any more polite.  I know, I shouldn't be bragging on them, but I can't help it.  Thank you, Lord, for each and every one of these kids. 

Things are going pretty good.  I am blessed. 

THEN. 

Another decision to make.  Why?  What to do, what to do?  Seriously?  I wasn't really ready to make another decision at this point.  Why can't life just be plain and simple?  Uneventful.  I don't need or like THAT much change.  I've made and experienced enough changes in the last three years, heck, three months, for that matter, to last a life time.  I was really hoping this was it for at least a year or two.  Lord, you do have a sense of humor, don't you?
